This week on Simulcast 172, we’ll leave the boring political debates to the politicians; we’re here to talk tech. We’re talking about Maps, a new Nexus, 1080p phone displays, Galaxy Note II, T-Metro, and Nest, the thermostat that’s gotten more software updates than my Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
We’ll talk about it all, right here on the Simulcast.
